The Importance of Using Personal Emails for VM University Accounts

The Importance of Using Personal Emails for VM University Accounts


When setting up accounts for VM University, it’s vital to use personal email addresses instead of generic or shared property emails. While this may seem like a minor detail, personal emails ensure a more streamlined, secure, and personalized experience for both the employee and the property. Below are key reasons why personal email accounts are essential:

1. Personalized Certificates of Completion
Each VM University course completed by an employee generates a personalized certificate tied directly to their account. These certificates are valuable for showcasing professional development and are a reflection of the individual’s achievements. By using personal emails, employees can ensure their certificates remain accessible and uniquely associated with them.

2. Enhanced Security and Account Management
Using personal emails enhances the security of individual accounts. Generic property emails, such as “frontdesk@xx.com,” often lack the privacy and security measures necessary for sensitive account management. Personal emails reduce the risk of login issues and ensure employees can recover their accounts independently if needed, avoiding potential disruptions.

3. Direct and Relevant Communication
VM University regularly shares updates about new courses, features, and resources. When personal emails are used, these communications reach the intended recipient directly, ensuring they stay informed about opportunities for professional growth. Shared emails can lead to missed or irrelevant updates, limiting the effectiveness of the training platform.

4. Streamlined Reminder Notifications
Employees enrolled in courses but who have yet to start or complete them will receive automated reminder emails. If a shared or generic property email is used, all reminders for multiple users are sent to the same inbox. This can result in an overwhelming number of notifications and may cause important messages to be overlooked. Personal emails ensure that each employee receives reminders relevant only to their own progress.

5. Portability and Career Growth
One of the unique features of VM University is its role as a career mobility platform. Employees can continue accessing their training records and certifications even if they move to another property or advance to a new position. A personal email ensures that their learning journey remains uninterrupted and that their account stays with them throughout their career, fostering long-term professional development.

6. Consistency Across the Platform
For the property, ensuring each employee has a unique, personal account creates consistency in training records and accountability. It allows managers to track progress more accurately and prevents confusion or errors caused by shared accounts.

By encouraging the use of personal email addresses, properties and employees alike can benefit from a smoother, more effective VM University experience. It not only enhances individual learning opportunities but also contributes to better management and organization for the property as a whole.
